Quality Assurance for Protective Coatings Applied to Nuclear Facilities D4537 Guide for Establishing Procedures to Qualify and Certify Personnel Performing Coating and Lining Work Inspection in Nuclear Facilities 2.2 American National Standards:3 N 45.2.6 Qualifications of Inspection, Examination, and Testing Personnel for Nuclear Power Plants NQA-1 Quality Assurance Requirements for Nuclear Facility Applications 2.3 Other Standard: 10 CFR 50 Appendix B Nuclear Regulatory Agency, Quality Assurance Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants4 1.1 This practice provides a criteria guide and procedural method to assist utility owners, architects, engineers, constructors, and other selection agencies in determining the overall qualifications of a coating contractor to execute coating work for the primary containment and other safety-related facilities of light-water nuclear power plants 1.2 The qualification criteria and requirements address the essential basic capability of a contractor to execute nuclear coating work Obviously, the specific capability to execute those requirements unique to a given project must also be carefully considered The evaluation procedure contained in this practice is designed to be adaptive to this detailed final qualification process Variation or simplification of the practice is appropriate for non safety-related areas of nuclear power plants, fossil fueled facilities, and other industrial projects Personnel 1.3 The overall capability of a contractor to successfully execute the varied and complex requirements of nuclear coating work is dependent upon competency in a variety of essential categories 3.1 Home Offıce Management and Staff—Resumes of the following types of personnel including educational background, duration and degree of involvement in industrial coating operations, qualifications, registrations, certifications, and specific experience in nuclear coating work 3.1.1 Principals and General

N 45.2.6, or Guide D4537, or NQA-1 1.4 The nine evaluation categories described in Sections – 12 detail the specific data to be provided by the contractor as essential to determining qualification status In addition, a tenth untitled category has been provided on the evaluation work described in Section 12 for inclusion of other information pertinent to a specific project 1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use 3.2 General Field or Shop Supervision—Resumes to include specific nuclear coatings work experience For referenced ASTM standards,
